Cultural Resources Program

The U.S Army Corps of Engineers acts to fulfill obligations to preserve and protect trust resources, comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and ensure reasonable access to sacred sites.

Among these efforts is the Corps' Natural Resources and Cultural Resources program.

The Corps searches for ways to involve Tribes in programs, projects and other activities that build economic capacity and manage Tribal resources while preserving cultural identities through collaborative processes designed to ensure information exchange, consideration of disparate viewpoints before and during decision making, and utilize fair and impartial dispute resolution.

The Corps works to meet trust obligations, protect trust resources, and obtain Tribal views of trust and treaty responsibilities.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has lasting and positive relations with many tribal governments and the Omaha District adheres to these principles of respect for Tribal governments and honor our Nation's trust responsibility through adopting the the following Tribal Policy Principles:

Tribal Sovereignty

Trust Responsibility

Government-to-government relations

Pre-decisional consultation

Self reliance, capacity building and growth

Natural and Cultural Resources management and protection

The Corps established these principles upon those outlined in the Constitution and treaties, as well as those established by Federal laws, regulations and Executive Orders, which continue to guide our national policy towards Tribal Nations.
